"The better the creative director, the music supervisor, is, the easier my job is."
"That's actually what I got my degree in, classical performance and composition."
"I got my bachelors degree in classical guitar... I was really kind of split. Classical music is great, but I wanted to rock."
"I think that originally, growing up when I did, the idea was -- most of my friends that were involved in music -- was to get signed to be a musician, on the road, rock star, make records."
"There was a writeup that they did for me in Guitar Player magazine... and that got me into working with a singer and we were recording demos at the studio, and it felt like I was going in the right trajectory. I ended up getting signed to Hollywood Records."
"I was working for a company that I was writing ring tones for, believe it or not, when those were a thing."

"It couldn't have been better. And I had no idea that Guitar Hero 3 itself would go on to be one of the highest grossing video games of all time. So, my first video game out of the gate ended up being Guitar Hero 3. And I did nine songs for the game."
"I've done everything from Carnevale style music to Balkan gypsy music to jam bands, Irish music, it goes all over. World music. It's really fun. And Just Dance has been a really amazing platform for that, and it's been eleven years that I've worked on that game."
"I watch a lot of TV to see how music that is not specifically composed for a television show, how is music utilized. And I've used that to great affect over the years by catching where my music has been placed and then writing more music that might be in that vein."
"I actually had Alice Cooper over at the house, which is a really surreal event. I was able to work with him. The coolest guy you've ever met. I (also) worked with Public Enemy. I worked with The Knack... So, I've helped a good deal of artists do their own music later on in their career."
